USA TODAY ARTICLE CALLING FOR ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS
By Neil Lowrie
February 22, 2002

Sir,

Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian land, this fact has been noted in numerous UN resolutions. Israel's policy of assassinations, land expropriations, sieges, the denial of medical care and the shooting of unarmed civilians are all in contravention to Geneva conventions and basic morality.

It is therefore unbelievable that a publication such as your with world wide coverage should express the view that the only solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is to deport 3 million Palestinians (5 million if you include those with Israeli citizenship) from their homes. Such propaganda could easily have been printed by the Israeli far right who have suggested this as a viable solution in many cases, even going as far as suggesting the forced sterilisation of Israeli Arabs to secure an ethnically 'pure' Israel. Shame on you for printing such racist and misinformed drivel.
